Bonnie,
Others have mentioned the PRTERRLOG command. In order for this to be meaningful each tape must have a unique identifier when it is initialized (and labeled externally). Otherwise, you won't be able to make heads or tails out of the report. (Been there, didn't do that.)
Also, there is a note in the help for PRTERRLOG that says:
"Note: ENDOPT(*UNLOAD) must be specified during the SAVE operation
to generate volume statistics at the completion of the tape
operation."
Never really noticed that before today, but our saves here all use EndOpt(*Unload). Do yours?
Thanks.

Subject: Tape Error Question
I know this has been addressed but I am not using the correct search words.
What command can I use to see how many and what tape errors were generated during a save? Like write errors.
I have a client whose Save Changed Object Save gets CPA4086 (Device not ready or next volume was not loaded) once a week.
All production files are touched daily and no massive amounts are added by Thursday. This does not happen on Friday.
I suspect the tapes used on Thursday.
Thank you,
Bonnie Lokenvitz
